Hello Water Jets Parents,

Thank you for your help with a wonderful first week of practice. Please read through this email for some reminders and info for the season.

Swimtopia App: Please take a moment and download the Swimtopia App. There's a free version that is helpful - but the Pro version is worth it too for the month of June. This app will keep you updated at home meets as to what race we are on, and when your swimmer is coming up to swim.

Swag: If your child has not picked up their bag for this season, please make sure they stop at the gate before practice and ask a board member to get it for them. We found a shrimper t-shirt after practice on Thursday. Please email us at [email protected] if your child lost theirs.

SHRIMPER Parents: If you choose to stay on deck during practice, please gather your kids quickly once practice ends and exit the pool so we can start the next group. Please also be sure to put your chairs back! Also, you don’t have to stay on deck during practice – if your child is comfortable, you are welcome and encouraged to hang out on the hill and socialize with neighbors. Sometimes it can be a distraction for kids if their parent is on deck. Do what is best for your child. Also we are very grateful that the coaches are being extra cautious with our little shrimpers as they know not every kid is a proficient swimmer yet. Once they get a sense for each swimmers ability – you’ll start to see a bit more action. :-) Trust the process!

Drink Donations: Every year we ask each family to donate one case of drinks. Thanks to those who have already dropped off. This helps stock our concessions stand. This helps tremendously to cut costs! Please bring your case of drinks to practice with you next week. Any case, any size - we will happily accept. Please no MINIs!

• LAST NAME A-G – Case of Gatorade or Powerade
• LAST NAME H-O - Case of Bottled Water
• LAST NAME P-Z - Case of Soda of Sparkling Water (Coke/Pepsi/Sprite/Lemonade/La Croix/Bubly, etc.)

Thanks again for a great first week of practice. Remember, if you have questions or problems or concerns - please bring them to a Board members attention at practice or reply to this email or [email protected]. Please let the coaches work with the kids, and bring any issues instead to the Board.

Please keep an eye on your email for details for the Mock Meet next Thursday and information about how to declare your swimmers for the meets.

GO WATER JETS!
